Subject: Call for posters, spatial at ucsb.local2014

 

Greetings,

 

Attached, please find a call for poster submissions for the Center for Spatial Studies’ annual exhibit of work in spatial studies, to be held on Tuesday, June 3 at Corwin Pavilion, as 12:30 a.m. The theme of this year’s spatial at ucsb.local2014 is “Spatially Enabled Smart Places.” 

 

We welcome posters that display your applications of spatial analysis on any theme, although our theme this year focuses on the creation of smart places through spatially enabled technologies. In this context, smart is interpreted as digital, informed, adaptive, efficient, cost effective, sustainable, and green; and place refers to a behavioral space, such as a home, vehicle, building, neighborhood, campus, city, or region. 

 

This is an ideal opportunity for students and professionals in humanities, science, social science, and engineering programs to showcase how spatial thinking facilitates research and creativity to the campus community and to a professional audience from the Santa Barbara region.

 

RSVPs to reserve a space and participate in this exhibit 

should be directed to:

kdoehner at spatial.ucsb.edu

 

Posters must fit on a 4 x 6 ft. poster board. Tacks for hanging and poster boards will be provided. Computer demonstrations of your work will also be accepted; please indicate your need for a table if you plan to present a demonstration instead of or in addition to a poster.

 

Please list the names of your collaborators and clarify which of you is to be the contact person. Since lunch will be served for this event, please indicate if you or any of your collaborators are vegetarian.

 

In addition to the poster session, the Spatially Enabled Smart Places Plenary Session (at 11:00 a.m.) will feature a presentation by Alexander Stepanov (University of Massachusetts Amherst) who will demonstrate how GIS technologies can tie diverse data systems together through its analytical and visualization tools for system-wide decision support to enable a smart campus. Then, Jon Jablonski (Director of the Map and Imagery Laboratory, UCSB) will suggest how geo-spatial technologies can be linked to other information and communication systems to provide a primary platform for integrating data and information to support research and education on the smart campus of the future.  

An agenda and further details will be sent out by mid-May, and will also be posted at www.spatial.ucsb.edu/events/local-gis.php, where you can also view previous years’ posters and plenary presentations.

 

We look forward to your submission of posters and to your participation in this exciting annual campus-wide celebration of spatial thinking. Lunch will be provided. 

 

Please feel free to re-distribute this call for posters in your department or among your colleagues.

 

my best,
